Allergen-free baking can get quite tricky. Ingrid and I used to experiment with our own recipes but found the efforts laborious and the results somewhat disappointing. There are a few decent allergen-free recipe books that we have run across, and The Allergen-Free Baker's Handbook by Cybele Pascal is one of them. Not all of the recipes turn out like the pictures and a few have textural issues but by and large this is one of the better books that we have come across. The sunflower seed cupcakes provided a wonderful alternative to the peanut butter cupcakes I have had to give up. This book also has an alternative to peanutbutter blossoms (called Sunflower Greenies), one of my all-time favorite cookies.
Bottom line is if you are looking for good baking resources, check out The Allergen-Free Baker's Handbook. Quick access to this book on Amazon below.
In 2005, while hiking on the Appalachian Trail, I contracted Lyme's Disease, Giardia, and an unknown third ailment – the beginning of a long battle with ill-health. After five years of exhausting the resources available through western medicine, I began exploring the world of alternative medicine from the viewpoint of an engineer. I have been through the fire and emerged unscathed. For my fellow chronic sufferers, this blog is for you. May hope sustain you and relief find you quickly...
